Captain 鈥楯ay鈥� Hook and his rabble of food experts are in the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury for a pantomime edition of The Kitchen Cabinet.

Joining Jay in the wings are food writer and Masterchef champion Tim Anderson, chefs Tim Hayward and Sophie Wright, and materials expert Dr Zoe Laughlin.

Head to toe in panto paraphernalia, the panellists discuss a variety of Christmas-themed cuisines, including meat-free Christmas dinners, pre-made canap茅s, and the star of every festive feast - the cheese and pineapple hedgehog.

In keeping with the pantomime season, the panel addresses the iconic custard pie and the best type of cream to 鈥樷�榮plat鈥� with.

Also, Jay chats to Ayumi Kuwata, founder of Canterbury鈥檚 sampuru store, Smile Labo, about the intricacies of Japan鈥檚 fake food tradition.
